Summary

[EuroPython 2011] Bruno Renie - 21 June 2011 in "Track Tagliatelle"

Description

GeoDjango is the "world-class geographic web framework" everyone has
probably heard of. The purpose of this talk, targeted at people familiar
with Django itself, is to introduce in more details the capabilities of
this framework.

After learning the basics of Geographic Information Systems, we will
see:

how to get started with a GeoDjango installation,

how to import, store and query spatial data,

how to geo-enable your forms to allow user-generated spatial data,

how to serialize and display your data using the different formats
and mapping frameworks such as OpenLayers and Polymaps.

During this talk we will be building a simple GeoDjango application to
illustrate the different concepts introduced.
